Per Christian Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Hi all, I'm quite certain this is suchomimus, but just to be sure, what say people here? The base has the elongated shape of suchomimus, and it has carinae on both sides as far as I can tell @Troodon Edited January 23, 2022 by Per Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Strong fluting, oval cross section, well-defined carinae and I believe I make out serrations in the first image. Definitely Suchomimus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The diagnostic feature that identifies these teeth are the minute serrations on the carinae. So take a look to determine if you can see any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not easy to see but i can make out minute serrations on the base of the carinae on both sides i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 You think? If you are having a hard time seeing them I doubt your photos will help me. The tooth looks right for Suchomimus. I suggest getting a USB scope they are inexpensive, easy to use and a great tool for identifications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Less than 30 percent of Suchomimus teeth have serrations still present firstly due to feeding wear (always the first to wear down even before the tip) and also the biggest factor is weather erosion, so many of the teeth from Elrhaz formation have pitting due to the constant sand hitting them once exposed. However this in my experience and handling a few hundred teeth of this species, without a doubt Suchomimus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
